No, this is not related to embedding WIC in setup. When I tested setup on different platforms, on Win2K3 I got the not so understandable message" - error 0x13ec Asia. Digging deeper into temp logs we can see more info from the framework installation log, which lead me to try starting manually and see what message will standalone fx40 provide.
Wix error: http://tinypic.com/r/rkr9mw/5 fx4 standalone error: http://tinypic.com/r/33eo4fd/5 What my point is, if we would get the same message in wix, like we have it in fx40 standalone, user will immediately know what is missed, and will be able to act accordingly. This would be sufficient, and I would not need to deal with it any further, since this affects only W2k3 and XP 64 bits, which are very rarely used (at least not by targeted clients).

The reason I ask is when I Googled the error in your Error Logs, which led me to the bug I gave you earlier. Regardless, the error is occurring because some prerequisite is not met on your OS Install. In short, are you asking WiX to be able to detect the missing prerequisite? If so, that task is huge, as no 2 users have identical systems unless corporately used, which would kill WiX usage in the general public...
